In many cases, vehicles, sheds, and garages are left unlocked by the owners. Suspects try doors until they find one unlocked and then look through the vehicle, shed or garage to take any valuables they locate as a quick crime of opportunity.
On Wednesday, December 5, 2018, the CPD will begin the “It’s 9 O’clock - LOCK IT UP” campaign. At 9 pm each night, a message will go out on the Police Department’s Instagram and Facebook accounts reminding all our followers that “It’s 9 O’clock – LOCK IT UP”. When you get the message, it is a perfect time to ensure your shed and garage doors are locked and to click that automatic door lock on your vehicles. Check to make sure your bikes are locked in the garage, shed, or are padlocked to an immovable object. Also, look around your yard and see if there is anything there that a thief may want.
If you LOCK IT UP there is a much better chance it will not be stolen.
We strongly believe this initiative is another excellent avenue to continue to improve our communication, partnership and trust with those we serve. As always, thank you for your support as we all work together to continue to improve the Quality of Life in our great city.
Attitude of Service, Mindset of Community and Heart of Protection!
